Chapter 407 I'll Let You Have Three Moves First (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although "Lost in Thailand 2" grossed more than "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Qi Hao reaped much greater benefits from his role in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" than from "Lost in Thailand 2".

"Lost in Thailand 2" is a direct successor to "Lost in Thailand 1".

Although he and Wang Baoqiang are no longer Li Chenggong and Niu Geng, their new roles remain consistent with their original character settings.

Even Qi Hao's bald look is the same.

After watching "Lost in Thailand 2", all people will say is, "Oh, Qi Hao acted well."

It's nowhere near as amazing as watching "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Some netizens even said:

I didn't understand Qi Hao's looks before, I only heard people say he was handsome, but after watching "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" I finally understand.

It truly amazed me.

Because of these words, An Feng mocked Qi Hao for several days.

A man was actually described as stunning.

However, she also felt that Qi Hao's look in this movie had a unique kind of handsomeness.

She even wanted Qi Hao to change his clothes at night.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the guts.

Because they will be severely punished.

In fact, An Feng's performance in the movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was also quite good.

Dressed in red, she looked dashing and heroic.

His skillful wielding of a spear has garnered him a large following among martial arts movie enthusiasts.

It's a pity that he had so few scenes.

It is said that An Feng has great potential to become a female warrior.

"Dao Ma Dan" refers to female warriors who specialize in playing heroic figures, wielding swords and riding horses, and possessing high martial arts skills. They are mostly marshals or generals, and are therefore known for their imposing presence, such as Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying.

However this is impossible.

The female warrior role is a niche field, and unless An Feng can no longer make a living in this field, there is no need for him to cultivate it deeply.

Action actors may seem cool, but their work is actually very tough.

Those who have worked deeply in this field, including Hendrik Willem Van Loon, Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan, and Wu Jing, have all suffered countless setbacks.

If you go to the hospital frequently when you're young, you might have to stay in the hospital when you're old.

Anfeng is doing so well now.

She married a very capable man.

Why go through all the trouble of becoming a female warrior?

Her new play, "Li Qingzhao," is already in preparation.

Now she reads books about Li Qingzhao and recites her poems whenever she has free time.

Even while cooking, she would occasionally utter a few lines of Li Qingzhao's poems.

Qi Hao alone saw several books, including "Dust and Light: The Biography of Li Qingzhao", "Li Qingzhao - Illuminating the Grand History of the Song Dynasty", "So Many Things I Want to Say But Remain Unsaid", "The Burden of a Talented Woman", and "Annotations on the Collected Works of Li Qingzhao".

If you get sleepy while watching, go to sleep, and then watch again when you wake up.

Anyway, she didn't have anything else to do.

She was already quite laid-back before, but she's become even more so after marrying Qi Hao.

They even choose the easiest way to find brand ambassadors.

The film "Li Qingzhao" was tailor-made for An Feng, based on her condition.

It doesn't matter how many years it takes to make.

They don't care how much it costs.

They can film whenever they want, since the production team is all from Zhonghao Entertainment.

Zhonghao Entertainment is now a large and successful company.

Zhonghao Entertainment can provide manpower for every aspect of film production.

These people get paid whether they have work or not.

Now, everyone's scrambling to do the job of making a movie for the boss's wife; you can't get a chance if you don't have some skill.

The huge success of "Lost in Thailand 2" has made Zhonghao Entertainment even more revered.

Many filmmakers outside want to join in.

Ye Weimin finally decided to sign with Zhonghao Entertainment and become a contracted director with the company.

He's from Hong Kong, but he came to the mainland to develop his career.

I just wanted to make a living, but I never expected to break box office records.

However, his script for "Lost in Thailand 3" was rejected by Qi Hao.

As early as after filming "Lost on Journey 1", he began to work on the script for "Lost on Journey 2", but one version after another failed. In the end, it was Qi Hao who wrote the script for "Lost on Journey 2".

He couldn't possibly burn all that stuff he had prepared.

So he used it to create "Lost in Thailand 3".

Anyway, fun storylines and funny jokes need to be accumulated little by little.

For his third film, he plans to make "Lost in Hong Kong 3".

As a Hong Konger, he unconsciously tends to associate the "囧" character with Hong Kong.

Moreover, Hong Kong is indeed a metropolis, with plenty of photo opportunities.

Even just selling nostalgia for classic Hong Kong films would be a major selling point; he even plans to buy more rights to old songs to play in the movie. Following the same path as the second film, *Lost in Thailand 2*.

However, writing a script is really too difficult.

The mindset of Hong Kong filmmakers is indeed outdated, especially when it comes to comedy films.

It's always the same old routine.

In an effort to change this situation, Stephen Chow even invited online comedians to join his screenwriting team.

The goal was to make the comedy more relatable.

Ye Weimin is not immune to making similar mistakes.

Qi Hao is very picky about scripts.

To put it bluntly, his script for "Lost in Hong Kong" was like shit.

Since we're all in the same vein, let's make a good road trip comedy.

Making the audience laugh and be happy is the most important thing.

When making a film, you need to understand your own positioning.

Ye Weimin was dejected after being talked to.

Even the fact that "Lost in Thailand 2" grossed over 100 million yuan in a single day didn't really inspire much enthusiasm.

As expected, on its seventh day of release, which was also its first Saturday, "Lost in Thailand 2" surpassed 1.12 million yuan at the box office.

Everyone felt as if they had lived through another world.

It seems like only yesterday that the "100 Million Yuan Club" for directors was a highly respected honor.

Because there were only about a dozen people in total.

I don't know when it started, but box office revenue of 100 million yuan has gradually become commonplace.

Every year, there are about ten movies that gross over 100 million yuan at the box office.

The daily box office has now exceeded 100 million.

How are directors in the "100 Million Yuan Club" supposed to put themselves in this situation?

It's impossible to brag about it anymore.

You might even be ridiculed for throwing a celebration party for a box office hit that exceeds 100 million.

On the eighth day, the daily box office failed to reach 1 million, only receiving 9300 million.

However, this is already quite impressive.

In just eight days, the film grossed over 500 million yuan, almost equal to the combined box office of "Dragon Gate" and "Nanjing".

The key point is that "Dragon Gate" and "Jinling" are both released on December 15th.

"Lost in Thailand 2" was released on December 18th, a full three days later.

Let’s go together!
I'll let you have three moves first!

In fact, even if the two of them attacked together, they still couldn't win.

As the New Year's bells rang in 2012, this box office battle finally came to a close.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" ultimately grossed 5.5 million yuan, while "The Flowers of War" only grossed 4.8 million yuan.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" stars Qi Hao and An Feng, with Qi Hao in particular gaining considerable attention.

They could even ride the wave of popularity from "Lost in Thailand 2".

After watching "Lost in Thailand 2", I was in a good mood and still wanted more. I saw that there was another movie starring Qi Hao in theaters, so I bought another movie ticket.

After watching it, all I can say is, Qi Hao, you're fucking awesome.

But forget about movies.

Xu Ke is still Xu Ke, but his films are no longer classics.

The total box office figures for "Lost in Thailand 2" were released quickly, showing that it grossed 15.5 billion yuan in 45 days.

It's nearly 200 million more than Avatar's 13.8 billion.
A new box office record has been set!

It stands there like a beacon, illuminating the rapid progress of the entire film industry.

Film companies are making campus youth films while simultaneously jumping on the comedy bandwagon.

Anyone can copy homework, right?
Meanwhile, cinemas also began a period of rapid expansion.

For those that have already opened, increase the number of screens as much as possible, or open a few more branches.

New cinemas were opening one after another.

There's also new capital entering the market, including Wanda Cinemas, United Cinemas, and Dadi Cinemas...

It's fair to say that Zhang Yimou ushered in the era of blockbusters, while Qi Hao ushered in the era of hit movies.

The earning power of the film industry has been magnified many times over.

Internet companies such as Tencent, Ali, and Baidu,
Wanda, China Resources Land, Poly, Evergrande and other real estate companies.

There are also other miscellaneous entities, either through acquisitions or investments, all starting to get involved in making movies.

Traditional film companies are beginning to face enormous pressure.

However, this does not include Qi Hao, who is under no pressure at all.

Everyone here is trash.

The value of this statement is still increasing.

Taking advantage of the snowy weather, he was figuring out how to capture the essence of Li Qingzhao in his photographs of his wife.
